A member asked:
Should i be worried? heart rate was 120 and as of now it is 100. could my baby be harmed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: When a woman is pregnant, a number of changes occur in her physiology. One of the changes includes increased fluid, or plasma, in the blood vessels as nutrients need to be carried to the woman and her fetus. In order to accommodate this increase in fluid, the heart has to increase in size and beat more often. If you feel well, a faster than normal resting heart rate is to be expected.
